Intro
RESOLUTION #15656, October 10, 2005
INTRODUCED BY Scott Burnett, County Legislator
Body
WHEREAS, the 2005 Jackson County Budget, adopted by Ordinance 3569, dated November 15, 2004, contains appropriations from the County's 2005 Health Fund for certain outside agencies to provide various public services to the County and its citizens including $65,000.00 for services by the AIDS Council of Greater Kansas City, a not-for-profit entity ("AIDS Council"); and,
WHEREAS, by Resolution 15337, dated January 3, 2005, the County Executive was authorized to execute a cooperative agreement ("January Agreement") with the AIDS Council pursuant to Chapter 70, Revised Statutes of Missouri; and,
WHEREAS, the January Agreement incorporated a proposal by the AIDS Council to serve as the administrative coordinator of the $65,000.00 for the quarterly reimbursement of eligible expenses incurred by the AIDS Council and four (4) other not-for-profit health service providers (SAVE, Inc., Heartland AIDS Resource Council, Good Samaritan Project and the Kansas City Free Health Clinic, hereinafter, the "Agencies") for the provision of food, housing, community information, emergency assistance and free medical services to persons who have tested positive for the HIV virus; and,
WHEREAS, the incorporated proposal set forth a plan whereby the $65,000.00 would be administered to ensure that the funds were shared equally by the five (5) service providers and the AIDS Council did distribute the first quarterly payment of $16,250.00 under this proposal; and,
WHEREAS, the AIDS Council has advised the County that it has withdrawn from participation in its role under the January Agreement and ceased operations due to a reduction or elimination of other funding sources and thereby has terminated the January Agreement pursuant to Paragraph 9 of said Agreement with no further claims for reimbursement pending in behalf of the AIDS Council; and,
WHEREAS, the remaining Agencies are aware of this termination and have requested that the County designate the Kansas City Free Health Clinic ("KC Free Health Clinic") as the successor administrative coordinator for claims for reimbursement for eligible expenses and authorize the County Executive to execute a new Agreement with KC Free Health Clinic providing for the balance of $48,750.00 to be distributed through KC Free Health Clinic as the successor administrative coordinator; and,
WHEREAS, the County Executive recommends that KC Free Health Clinic serve as the successor administrative coordinator for the administration of the original proposal for the benefit of the four remaining Agencies; and,
WHEREAS, the execution of a new Agreement with KC Free Health Clinic is in the best interests of the health, welfare, and safety of the citizens of Jackson County; and,
WHEREAS, a transfer of the balance of $48,750.00 within the 2005 Health Fund previously budgeted for the AIDS Council is necessary in order to allocate these monies to the appropriate spending account and to cover the cost of the new Agreement; and,
WHEREAS, the County Executive recommends said transfer; now therefore,
